Make Code Arcade Arrays(?) Uncaught e.findIdx is not a function
I am working on a Microsoft Make Code Arcade Game in VS code using the Microsoft MakeCode Arcade Extension. While attempting to make enemies spawn automatically via a for loop, I ran into an error.
VS Code error msg:
Uncaught e.findIdx is not a function at lvl1 (main.ts:105:1) at inline (main.ts:54:57) at runButtonEvents (pxt_modules/game/controllerbutton.ts:237:9) at inline (pxt_modules/game/controllerbutton.ts:266:45) at inline (pxt_modules/base/eventcontext.ts:32:59)
Make Code Arcade Website error msg:
e.findIdx is not a function at lvl1 (line 118) at inline (line 57) at inline (line 6)
I believe this is caused by the array I was trying to use to create the variables for the sprites. But I do not know for sure.
Section of code Causing the problem:
let enemys: any = [] let enemyNumber: number for (let i: number = 0; i < 3; i++) { // enemy setup enemyNumber = i enemys[enemyNumber] = sprites.create(assets.image`Basic Enemy`, SpriteKind.Enemy) enemys[enemyNumber].vx = -30 // enemy movment setup game.onUpdateInterval(200, function () { // evry 0.2 sec if (enemys[enemyNumber].vx == 30) { // if the player is traveling right if (! (tiles.tileAtLocationIsWall(enemys[enemyNumber].tilemapLocation().getNeighboringLocation(CollisionDirection.Right).getNeighboringLocation(CollisionDirection.Bottom)))) { // if the tile to the below and to the right of the sprite is not a wall enemys[enemyNumber].vx = -30 // make the sprite turn the other direction } } else { if (! (tiles.tileAtLocationIsWall(enemys[enemyNumber].tilemapLocation().getNeighboringLocation(CollisionDi rection.Left).getNeighboringLocation(CollisionDirection.Bottom)))) { // if the tile to the below and to the right of the sprite is not a wall enemys[enemyNumber].vx = 30 // make the sprite turn the other direction } } }) } tiles.placeOnTile(enemys[1], tiles.getTileLocation(10, 14)) tiles.placeOnTile(enemys[2], tiles.getTileLocation(20, 14)) tiles.placeOnTile(enemys[3], tiles.getTileLocation(29, 11))
The git-hub repo can be found here. The Branch I am working on is called Code-(Colton) and can be found here. The error is caused in main.ts
I tried to comment out lines 115-135, but the error persisted. This may mean that something is a pre-defined asset, but I am verry lost. I do not know what the error message is telling me.
